Thank you good sir

 

I must say I'd rather get this on the

[NewFlyer 230]

Are the R62/'s and R68/A's getting overhauled like the R32-R46's did back in 1989 and 1990?

[RollOver]

Of course not...There is no general overhaul program anymore. Scheduled Maintenance System has replaced the general overhaul program and it also takes place every 5-7 years or so. The R62s and R68s aren't even close to being vandalized enough to support a major overhaul.

On the Manhattan bound express track between north of union turnpike and 75th ave (nights only) they lay up some trains

 

Weekends and every night on the Jamaica express tracks between 75th and union those are lay up tracks

 

Between supthin and parsons those are ®'s that get layed up and turned into (F)'s the very next weekday

 

On the Manhattan bound exp track between 169-parsons that's where the is layed up

 

Its basically a cycle and the still uses Jamaica equipment on the weekends

 

The is borrowing I think some sets from the ? Or maybe some from the / . I've been seen more R160 sets on the than R46 sets

Even the to Queens is suspended

The to Queens is not suspended, it's running via 63 Street/6 Avenue. They're running shuttle buses for the in both directions though in Queens only.

There were at least two R142A sets on the today running to Dyre from the . Interesting to see an R142A on the Dyre and WPR lines.

The Canal Street platform was closed today because of the re-route via the Man. Bridge but the subway entrance was open. Strange. All the other transfer passages were gated. The entrance at Broadway does not have a passageway to the Even I got confused for a second and went down. Feel bad for the couple that had to bring the stroller back up again.

 

Also saw an orange on an R68 rollsign on the at 9th Ave. Didn't take out my camera quick enough.

Its all a big mess partly in because of the ongoing track replacement work that is occurring at 36th Street. All trains are forced to utilize only one track on the southbound to access the West End, Sea Beach and Bay Ridge BMT lines. Theres a major monster operation occurring in my neck of the woods. Two weekends strong. They are replacing track through the corridor. 

 

I havent ever seen such a major operation done on the BMT 4th Ave Line in years. Now I can't exactly explain the oddities we are observing here but this must be a factor here. 

 

I can be wrong here, any thoughts on this, please share. 

[S78 via Hylan]

I guess that explains the ongoing GO with the late night shuttle only going to 59 St.

Yup, exactly.

 

The cant access the switches north of 36th for the usual turnaround because of the track work.

Its all a big mess partly in because of the ongoing track replacement work that is occurring at 36th Street. All trains are forced to utilize only one track on the southbound to access the West End, Sea Beach and Bay Ridge BMT lines. Theres a major monster operation occurring in my neck of the woods. Two weekends strong. They are replacing track through the corridor.

I rode through the Manhattan Bridge tonight after all the trains were scheduled to run local. It was slow! I was on the with a bunch of trains up ahead as we were delayed right in the middle of the bridge. With the delays on the , , and stretching all the way to the bridge, I didn't think the would escape unscathed. The transition period from express to local is especially vulnerable to delays as the train frequency hasn't been reduced enough to give trains more room to use the single track at DeKalb Avenue.

Had 3864 with the scrolling signs today, second R32 I've had in a few weeks with rollers still on there (3925 the other). Had an excuse to fix the signs cause they were all messed up, set it to the 2nd Avenue and all.

No, the signs weren't on that, they were set for the WTC and others. I changed it to 2nd Av and 168th for this weekend's GO.

I hope the R110's get fixed and added to the museum fleet.

You do realize that you could be charged by the (nasty) police even if you were trying to correct improper signage ? Sometimes it's best to leave that job to someone who gets paid to do it. I was on a n/b train years ago when a rider was accosted by the police for changing a rollsign from a back to a after some kids messed with it. The kids got off at Utica and left the scene. I was in the car, in uniform, and talked to the police from Kingston-Throop to Lafayette Avenue before they cut her some slack. Be careful. Some officers aren't going to listen to what you have to say even if you have witnesses. Carry on.
